How many pregnancy tests have you taken?

edited January 2015 in September 2015 Moms
are you addicted to POAS? I thought it'd be a fun sunday poll to see how many tests you've taken...
Feel free to post the actual number!

    Five tests, but I have some (4) left over that I am going to take every other day just to see the line darkening.

    Just 1... My 10dpo test was so dark I'm scared to see a lighter line eventhough I know that doesn't mean much :-(

    4. They aren't getting much darker. I keep telling myself this means nothing.

    I have, like, 10 more ICs, and will most likely use more of them before my appointment onthe 12th.

    Three.  I took one thinking it was too early to test and there was a faint line so I went out and bought a digital test.  It said pregnant and then a few days later I figured I might as well use the other one in the box.

    Hmmm... I think I've taken 6 at this point. It was so faint that I wanted to see the line slowly getting darker.
  • Options
    I just took another one today. I think that now makes 5. But today's digi said 2-3 weeks! I know there's a huge range of accuracy on those things but it made me feel better, so whatever.

    It's over 20 lol. We did FET & I started testing about 2dp5dt. Once I started seeing lines I tested 2-3 times a day. Our last was a miscarriage & I had watched the tests go back negative so I'm super nervous this time. Luckily still dark as of yesterday.
  • Options
    I've taken a bunch, I have a lot of Wondfos left do I plan to take them every morning for a while. I know the darkness comparisons don't mean much, but I find it comforting to see positives.

    Oh my, you all will think I'm nuts but I just counted 35 sticks lol. And those aren't counting the negative I threw away. So I'm probably close to 40 8-}

    @riderchik‌ congrats girl!! I remember you from TTGP :) I was a lurker. So happy for you!!

    2, one to confirm pregnancy, and then I bought one of those clear blue ones that predicts how long its been since you ovulated.

  • Options
    Hm probably 9 lol I was testing every morning watching the lines darken
  • Options
    I took 8 because I'm crazy.

    3 Wondfos at 7DPO because I heard the brand has given false positives, so I wanted to be super-sure of the results; 1 Wondfo at 10DPO, when I got my first BFP; 1 Wondfo and 1 FRER at 11DPO to confirm (both were BFPs); 1 Wondfo at 12DPO (BFP); 1 FRER the day my period was due, just to ease my mind. New Years Resolution: no more POAS.

    Well if we count before we got our BFPs... I believe I took 3. 1 at 9dpo (Lol), 1 at 10dpo (Lol again) & then 1 at I believe 12dpo which is when I got my BFP.

    Ever since FF changed my O day, it has made me want to continue testing daily. Our main reason was due to suffering a CP last cycle and wanting to know what is happening. But, yesterday MW and I decided to stop testing for at least a week to save our sanity.

    5. 3 frer's and 2 cheapies. Mostly to see the line get darker. I threw one in my suitcase for next week for the same reason. Make sure it's still strong.

  • Options
    I took 2. I ended up doing 2 because my DH wasn't home when I took the first one and trashed the evidence to surprise him later that week. I guess I thought I needed to show him?!
  • Options
    I've only done two - both Clear Blue Digitals. Since I tested before my missed period I didn't want to overanalyze any squinters, I just wanted to see "pregnant" or "not pregnant". I used the second one the next day, just because. I'm tempted to POAS again but I'm afraid I'll start obsessing over line darkness, etc., when really I couldn't do anything about it anyways.

    I've taken 13 so far... LOL! 1 store-brand-type-frer, 8 FRER, 3 dollar store tests and 1 digital.... I took my most recent test today at 22 dpo... I still have one more FRER I'll probably take in a week.. Then follow up with the digital right before my first appt.... And #13 doesn't count the 2 tests I took early that were BFN's.. So if you want to be technical, I've POAS 15 times this cycle.. Is it obvious that I'm nervous of another loss?

    I've taken 3 total. I did 2 digital both were BFP. A few days later I took a cheap store brand and the lines had turned before I stopped going to the bathroom. I figured it was safe to stop after that.
  • Options
    I took one at 14DPO and then figured "what the hell, I only have one left and it's going to bug me to have it sitting around," so I took the second one at 18DPO. Two total. That's it for me.

    I voted 2 but also took one really early on that was negative. I wanted to take one of the ones that predicts how long it's been since ovulation but I was too cheap to pay for it. 

    I only took one with DS. This time, I'd like to go buy a bunch of dollar tree ones and test every other day so I can analyze how dark the line is. But I won't.

    I am in the same boat. Though I am a little worried I've taken almost 40. Lol I'm out now & still want to grab a few more. RE isn't doing my ultrasound till Friday & I can't imagine not taking one these next 5 days :|

    I need serious help lol

    1 - I actually took it last night, only because I am EXHAUSTED!  My husband seems to need a little more reassurance so I went out and bought 3 more -

    Just one. I even have another one at home and haven't taken it. This is way different than my last pregnancy...I tested A LOT then.
